[0:01] Kitten: Kitten and Clucky are two best friends trying to make sense of the world around them. Adventures and discoveries around every bend. Come along and explore with them. Oh, what a beautiful day.

[0:31] Clucky: Hello, little bird. How are you? Would you like to fly down a little lower? I just want to play. And maybe nibble on you a bit.

[0:45] Kitten: Oh, where did you come from, pretty black and yellow butterfly? Pounce, pounce. Oh, you're quick. I almost had you. Stay right there.

[0:58] Clucky: Kitten! Kitten! Hurricane! Batten down the hatches! Collect all the valuables! It's coming! Prepare for impact!

[1:10] Kitten: Clucky, you scared away the butterfly I was about to catch.

[1:14] Clucky: Hurricane is coming. Look out, it's on its way. I feel my heart a-pounding. I'm not sure we can stay.

[1:24] Kitten: Calm down and do not fret. There's time to wait and see. The storm's not here yet. Come take a walk with me.

[1:43] Clucky: Hurricane is coming. We're all going to die. We need to start running because I can't fly.

[1:55] Kitten: Calm down and do not fret. There's time to wait and see. The storm's not here yet. Come take a walk with me.

[2:10] Clucky: A walk? Are you serious? But Kitten, didn't you hear me? There's a hurricane headed straight for us.

[2:17] Kitten: I think the whole neighborhood heard you. But Clucky, you're overreacting.

[2:22] Clucky: Overreacting? Kitten, it's a Category 4 storm. They're saying it could increase to a Category 5 by tonight.

[2:31] Kitten: Category 5? That is the top of the scale. That means the storm could have 185 mph sustained winds. That could blow me to Orlando in just 22 minutes.

[2:42] Clucky: It takes over an hour to drive there. And the storm could dump 36 inches of rain. That's like three chickens, huh? In just rain.

[2:59] Kitten: I cannot swim. At least I don't think I can swim. I've never tried it. Maybe I should sneak into the pool and test out if I can swim.

[3:07] Clucky: What if I am blown to Orlando? How would I make it back here? These legs, although fabulous, cannot walk that far. We're going to die.

[3:19] Kitten: Oh, Clucky, it's been nice knowing you. I'm too young to die.

[3:27] Clucky: Clucky! Ouch! Clucky, get a hold of yourself!

[3:31] Kitten: You scratched me!

[3:33] Clucky: Well, I'm sorry. I had to get your attention. You're being hysterical and not listening.

[3:39] Kitten: But did you have to get your claws out? I don't need an injury before the end.

[3:45] Clucky: Oh, Clucky, this is not the end. Xander and Maddox will not let anything happen to us. They have a plan.

[3:51] Kitten: Did you hear what I said? Category 5 headed straight for us. Didn't you listen to the song?

[4:01] Clucky: Meow.

[4:02] Kitten: I know. Maddox told me all about it. She was on the NOAA website tracking the storm.

[4:07] Clucky: NOAA? Like the guy who built the ark? Are we going to have to board a boat and ride this out? What if it sinks?

[4:16] Kitten: Is there going to be that much rain? You'd think there'd be a much more modern solution to this kind of problem. Not NOAA and the ark.

[4:26] Clucky: NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

[4:32] Kitten: Say what now?

[4:34] Clucky: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is made up of a large group of scientists that specialize in the study of oceans and weather. They monitor these storms and advise people on what they should do. They also give the storm names.

[4:50] Kitten: A name? Why does a storm need a name? It's not a cuddly pet.

[4:54] Clucky: Yeah, no. They give the storm names because it makes it easier for news reporters to get the information out. Sometimes there could be three or four hurricanes or tropical depressions at one time. They need an easy way to tell them apart.

[5:09] Kitten: There could be more than one?

[5:11] Clucky: Yes, and sometimes they can merge together.

[5:14] Kitten: What happens if they merge?

[5:16] Clucky: Wait, what's merge? That sounds bad.

[5:19] Kitten: Merge means join together.

[5:21] Clucky: Oh, I was right. That is bad.

[5:24] Kitten: Well, it can be bad or it can be good.

[5:27] Clucky: How can that possibly be good?

[5:30] Kitten: If a storm's winds are blowing in opposite directions, then when they merge, they can make each other weaker.

[5:36] Clucky: Oh, like two sumo wrestlers battling it out. Huh, huh, and they both get tired.

[5:43] Kitten: Sure, something like that. But there's also a possibility they could merge and become more powerful.

[5:50] Clucky: You mean like when the Hulk gets angry and he turns into the big green monster and he's like, I'm gonna destroy you.

[5:58] Kitten: Yeah, yeah, I guess.

[6:02] Clucky: Wait, are we dealing with merging storms?

[6:05] Kitten: No, there's just one storm out in the Atlantic right now. It's already a category four and it's headed to the warmer waters of the Caribbean where the scientists, known as meteorologists, say that the storm could get even stronger.

[6:17] Clucky: Stronger? How? Why? Are we gonna die? Should we leave now? Is there any place we can go?

[6:25] Kitten: Clucky, meow, really? You need to calm down. Our people have the situation under control.

[6:32] Clucky: How can you say that? You can't control a storm.

[6:36] Kitten: Well, that is true, but we can control our actions. Don't worry, Maddox told me the plan.

[6:41] Clucky: You know the plan? Why haven't you told me?

[6:44] Kitten: There's not much to do yet.

[6:46] Clucky: How do you know?

[6:48] Kitten: I told you, Maddox and I were watching the most recent update. The storm is called Dorian and it's out in the Atlantic Ocean right now. It's on the move towards us at a rate of one to twenty-four miles per hour.

[6:59] Clucky: That does not sound very fast.

[7:01] Kitten: You are correct, it is not very fast. It is also pretty far away right now. So it could be several days before it gets here, if it even makes it to us.

[7:10] Clucky: What do you mean? The hints told me it was headed straight for us.

[7:13] Kitten: They heard that from the Ibis this morning.

[7:16] Clucky: Well, several of the predicted paths are headed this way.

[7:19] Kitten: What is a predicted path? Who is doing the predicting?

[7:23] Clucky: You remember the scientists I mentioned?

[7:26] Kitten: Oh yeah, the meteor people.

[7:28] Clucky: Meteorologists, not meteor people.

[7:31] Kitten: Oh yeah, those guys. Those highly educated women and men study these storms and based on historical data...

[7:39] Clucky: History what what?

[7:42] Kitten: Historical data. It's the information collected from past storms.

[7:47] Clucky: Oh, storms from history.

[7:50] Kitten: Yes, exactly. Well, the meteorologists take the data and they come up with possible routes or paths that the storm could take. It looks like a bunch of colorful lines on a map.

[8:02] Clucky: Each line shows a possible path a storm could take.

[8:05] Kitten: Why is there more than one path? It's a storm over the ocean. There's nothing in its way.

[8:09] Clucky: Well, that's not exactly true. There are some islands that could cause it to change direction, but also the temperature changes in the water it's moving over can cause it to get stronger or weaker, and even change direction.

[8:22] Kitten: So you're saying there's no telling where this is going or how big it's going to get. We're doomed!

[8:31] Clucky: Clucky, I said no such thing. The meteorologists are constantly watching the hurricane and every four hours they update the model.

[8:40] Kitten: Model? Who said anything about a pretty lady selling clothes?

[8:44] Clucky: That model better pack up and get out of town before the hurricane comes.

[8:52] Kitten: Clucky, the model is the group of paths that the hurricane may take.

[8:57] Clucky: Well, why did you say that?

[8:59] Kitten: I just did.

[9:01] Clucky: Okay, okay, the meteor people.

[9:03] Kitten: Meteorologists.

[9:05] Clucky: Yeah, yeah, those people. They look at the storms from history.

[9:09] Kitten: Historical data.

[9:11] Clucky: Yeah, that stuff. And they draw lines on a map of possible paths that the hurricane will take so they can warn people in those areas to get ready.

[9:20] Kitten: Exactly. Every four hours they update these models who are not pretty ladies selling clothes but a group of predicted paths that the hurricane could take.

[9:30] Clucky: Kitten, for a rooster, you followed that very well.

[9:35] Kitten: Brock, Brock, I was atop of the roost at Featherbrand Academy.

[9:41] Clucky: But Kitten, there's something I don't understand.

[9:44] Kitten: What's that, Clucky?

[9:46] Clucky: Well, a Category 4 hurricane means that there's sustained winds of 130 miles per hour. But you also said it's moving at a speed of 1 to 24 miles per hour.

[9:58] Kitten: Which one is it?

[10:00] Clucky: It's both.

[10:01] Kitten: How can it be both?

[10:03] Clucky: Think of the hurricane.

[10:05] Kitten: Swirling vortex of doom.

[10:10] Clucky: That's a little dramatic.

[10:12] Kitten: Think of it being inside a bubble.

[10:15] Clucky: Oh, I wish it wasn't a bubble and then I could pop it. And say, see you later, Dorian.

[10:20] Kitten: Stay with me, Clucky. So, inside the bubble, the winds of Dorian are moving super fast at 130 miles an hour. But the storm, or the bubble, is moving across the water at a speed of about 10 miles per hour.

[10:38] Clucky: Oh, so the swirling vortex of doom is crawling towards us. But when it hits, it's going to be worse than the big bad wolf with allergies.

[10:46] Kitten: Sure. Something like that.

[10:56] Clucky: Alright. So, Kitten, what should we do now?

[11:01] Kitten: Right now? We wait. We should know in the next day or two what we need to do.

[11:07] Clucky: I am not very good at waiting. I think I need to go eat something. It's about lunchtime.

[11:13] Kitten: Oh, Xander's bringing down lunch. I'm going to go eat lunch with the hens. Bye, Kitten.

[11:17] Kitten: Bye, Clucky.

[11:43] Clucky: For more information on the day, please call our show at 321-345-1544. You can also check out our website at kittenandclucky.com.

[11:54] Kitten: And now, it's the Kitten and Clucky Joke of the Day!

[12:03] Evie: Hello, this is Evie. I'm from Elan, Ohio, and here's my joke. Let's just call a lazy baby kangaroo a pouch potato.

[12:21] Kitten: A pouch potato. Good job, Evie. Thank you. Goodbye.

[12:26] Natalie: Hi, this is Natalie from Ohio. How does the moon cut his hair?

[12:31] Kitten: Eclipse it.

[12:34] Natalie: Eclipse it. Like a lunar eclipse.

[12:39] Kitten: Good job, Natalie. Meow.
